exactly always found it a very divisional subject at best ,dont thnk i have ill be sure to post some of this one soon thoI like the touch at the bottom...your right they dont care about the politics...do have any pictures of any of the finished buds of this one harvest reaper
I have a theory. OT1 was a hippy old enough to have been around at the time and claimed to have been involved in the breeding of skunk.(Not skunk1). His haze clearly has links genetically to Ohaze, and Colombian gene pool. It's clear skunk existed before Sam. My take is he was sent seeds and worked them in the early days of skunks development pre Sam. It is also possible that the "haze brothers" inherited the work of breeders from hippy communes in Cali just as OT1 may have, as did Sam. Sam always states ot1 never got them from him or the "brothers" so it is entirely possible that the seeds predate both Sam, the haze brothers, posi, Tom hill, etc etc. What of the story of early haze development in the hills/mountains before the haze brothers?
The labels are 100% what people labeled thier samples when they were sent in, go look at the clusterfuck of the bigger clone groups like OG Kush, or GDP, and you see all sorts of strange names and labels.
Wats the link between the haze brothers haze an othz apart from old columbians that wer around in the 60-70....grow them side by side they actually look different too.....but that could be down to selection...nh and a5 are on phylos I dont know if they link in some way to othz...I dont think they do....anyone know ?
just going on what i read on this site ot1 didnt call it haze just a cali bred sativa other added the name haze after ,,i know the mysterious haze brothers wernt the only people growing sativas in cali and other areas of us back then could of easily come from a 1000 other sources i would personally not change the name of a line from the originator but it no biggy as long as the pedigree is true and as advertised its just marketing
its all good didnt think you were having a pop at all,,, you never know maybe there were linked somewereHey its cool ....I wasnt trying to have a pop at you...thats wat its know as now an messing about with the name now would only cause confusion an doubt on it...sticking to wat its being passed on as now is the best thing...I was genuinely asking if wer able to see it linked together, or as somthing predating ohz or something on phylos...even tho phylos are abit wack ...but we can still use some info from ther galaxy...
Yes - Cannabisworld was around back then too - along with Marc Emery's outfit - both based in Canada -
Cannabisworld was more laid back then Overgrow - and was more for the old school growers of fine sativa's mostly - but Overgrow catered for the 1000's of new growers keen to get started and grow their own 'erb - and most newbie's wanted something fast and easy to grow - time was of the essence - so most all turned to growing indica dom hybrids - for a fast turnaround - and this type of 'erb was wrongly all named 'Skunk' in the UK - even though it might not be - as a blanket name for any high THC cannabis variety -
Most of the now commercial 'Skunk'/Indica dom varieties you see out there these days are what cannabis buyers have got used to over the past 20 years or so - most all of them have never tried a HAZE or a real uplifting sativa - so maybe they don't realize that you can really get 'HIGH' on cannabis? - rather than the mong'ed out couch-lock-munchies/sleepy effect the majority of cannabis users have grown used to - due to only 'Skunk'(which is not really skunk) being available for purchase -
For them to be commercially viable and compete within the cannabis market - long flowering HAZE/Sativa buyers would have to first be educated as to the vast difference in the high from what they are used to - and the higher cost of production - so making the price higher than the usually Indica dom commercial cannabis available -
C99 was of great interest back then - and when I first tried some in 2000 - I was most impressed - and soon, after hooking up with Sly and Soul - was vending it in Europe for the first time - to many other growers and breeders over here - and worldwide - quite a few then used C99 in their own breeding/seed making efforts -
In this legal model I see in some places i seen a list coming out of some places called the top 10 greatest cannabis breeders of all time...on that list I see people like snoop dog, mike tyson and burner (no disrespect to these guys) an I had to look again an again at the list....no mention of people like sam an nevil ect....an the worst thing is thers a younger generation out ther now who are willing to seriously argue with you about the legitimacy of these types of lists..an give serious recognition to these types of lists an actually consider the people on these lists as the true forefathers an foundation of the cannabis world as we know it...an its actually being backed, put out an promoted by this new legal model in some places....
Unfortunately, I think what you see here is human nature as it is and as it has been. EVERY generation has it's "heroes", and every generation degrades the last generation's heroes... and they are ALL delusional. There were great plants in the 1700s, we don't credit or acknowledge that. Neville grew the first great plant. No, Sam, no, Mel Frank, No, some shepherd in Uzbekistan... LMFAO.
